The photons (units of light) in incoherent light fly around like, say pepper and water in a blender. The photon in LASER light all move in the same direction like soldiers marching together down a street. LASER light is 'Coherent' light.
This means that a beam of coherent light can travel great distances without spreading out.

What is the main difference between laser and ordinary white light?
The main difference is that laser light is coherent, meaning the light waves are aligned and moving in a single direction, while ordinary white light is non-coherent, with light waves traveling in random directions. Laser light is also monochromatic, meaning it consists of a single color, while white light contains a mixture of different colors.
Is looking at a laser more dangerous than looking at a light bulb of the same intensity?
Yes. There is a huge difference between a 1-watt laser and a 1-watt light bulb. A 1-watt laser will burn a hole in your eye.
Difference between optical and laser mouse?
While both optical in laser mice require a light source in order to detect movement, the difference between the two technologies are optical mice use LEDs as their light source while laser mice use infrared laser that cannot be seen by the human eye. Laser mice are also much more precise than optical mice due to a higher DPI tolerance.
Difference between light emitting diode and laser?
LEDs, known as light emitting diodes, are comprised of two lead semiconductor light sources. Laser transmitters, also known as laser diodes are comprised of an electrically charged semiconductor laser.
What is the difference between laser and visible light In terms of wavelength wave frequency and health hazards.?
because that's the way it is....
Difference between laser and ordinary light?
Laser lights are spectrally pure, i.e. one wavelength, and they are coherent, i.e. all phota in phase. As a result, the beam of a laser light tends to stay as beam, and not diverge due to scattering.
What is the difference between continuous and pulsed wave laser?
Continuous I assume would mean a constant flow of light from the laser in the form of a wave train. Conversely, a pulse is only a single wave emitted by the laser.
What is the difference between a laser light and the light beam from a white flashlight?
A laser light is coherent, meaning its waves are all in phase and directional, giving a narrow beam. In contrast, light from a white flashlight is incoherent and spreads out in various directions. Laser light also has a single color (wavelength), while white light contains a mix of colors.
Why laser beam is narrow straightwhere as light from tube light is blury?
A laser beam is a coherent light source that emits a narrow beam of light due to the alignment of its waves. In contrast, light from a tube light is incoherent and emits light in all directions, resulting in a blurry appearance. The difference in coherence and directionality between laser light and tube light accounts for their distinct characteristics.
What is the difference between the orange and green light on the air conditioning button on a 1990 Plymouth Laser?
orange is cold, green is colder
What is the difference between the force action and the electronic light saber?
The Force is something you can learn to control, as a lightsaber is NOT electronic, but it is a Weapon. It's a Laser.
What is the difference between a laser and an ordinary light in terms of colors?
A laser produces coherent light that is monochromatic, meaning it emits a single color or wavelength of light. In contrast, ordinary light consists of multiple wavelengths, producing a range of colors. This is why lasers are often used in applications that require precise and specific colors.
